Description The handling and management of municipal solid
waste (MSW) are major challenges for solid waste management
in developing countries. Open dumping is still the most
common waste disposal method in India. However, landfilling
also causes various environmental, social, and human health
impacts. The generation of heavily polluted leachate is a major
concern to public health. Engineered barrier systems (EBSs)
are commonly used to restrict potentially harmful wastes by
preventing the leachate percolation to groundwater and overflow
to surface water bodies. The EBSs are made of natural
(e.g., soil, clay) and/or synthetic materials such as polymeric
materials (e.g., geomembranes, geosynthetic clay liners) by
arranging them in layers. Various studies have estimated the
human health risk from leachate-contaminated groundwater.
However, no studies have been reported to compare the human
health risks, particularly due to the leachate contamination
with different liner systems. The present study endeavors
to quantify the human health risk to contamination fromMSW
